Daredevil Volume 6 Review

Daredevil Volume 6 is the penultimate collection of Mark Waid's Daredevil series. Matt struggles to keep his law firm afloat while his best friend and partner Foggy Nelson undergoes treatment, a new case reopens a chapter from Matt 's past - pitting Daredevil against a conspiracy that grips the highest levels of law and order in New York City. Plus: Daredevil team-ups with Silver Surfer and the Indestructible Hulk. Collects Daredevil #28-30 and Indestructible Hulk #9-10 by Mark Waid with art by Chris Samee, Javier Rodriguez and Matteo Scalera.

Under the direction of Mark Waid Daredevil has easily become one of the best in superhero comics, It's exciting, fun, and engaging. This volume sticks to shorter stories, more than likely preparing for the final story arc of the series.

Now that the mastermind behind Daredevils recent troubles has been stopped. Matt Mudock can focus more on his life, Foggy’s recovery treatment and their struggling law practice. Matt's latest client is a man he once feared in his youth and now needs his help leading to a courtroom drama that takes a dramatic turn. It all gets very thrilling and exciting as a sinister organisation that has infiltrated the courthouse, opening up a new criminal conspiracy. Then, when Matt is visited by an alien seeking asylum on earth, that is being pursued by the “Cosmic Rider of the Spaceways”. It’s no big surprise that the guest star is in stand alone tale is The Silver Surfer. Teaming up with Daredevil is a delight and a fun action story.

The third and final storyline "Blind Rage " is another team up collected from “Indestructible Hulk” #9- 10 also written by Mark Waid with artist Matteo Scalera. This Hulk series has an interesting and innovative premise. Bruce Banner has willingly joined the spy organization S.H.I.E.L.D. allowing them to use the Hulk as a weapon in exchange for providing Banner with the means and funding to create a lasting legacy for himself. Matt Murdock is Banner's attorney, as insurance that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't double cross him. Their latest mission; stopping a cartel of high tech weapons dealers just off the bay from Hell’s Kitchen. It’s a great concept and it’s definitely has its moments of big action and destruction scenes that only the Hulk can provide. It is great story as well as an extra bonus to the collection. It's not a integral to the Daredevil series but is still worthy inclusion.

These three stories has Matt Murdock, the man, being called upon more than his crime fighting alter ego. After everything that has happened in the series so far, Matt’s personal life and law practice are at the forefront. Shorter than previous Daredevil collected editions, the short self contained stories are enjoyable while not forgetting previous plot elements as the series gets better and better in one of the finest superhero comics series being published and being one of the best comic book runs in recent years.These books are serialized storytelling rather than self-contained tales. They're part of a larger story line unfolding with every issue, becoming one of the best superhero comic book runs. It is sad to see this much loved series in its final stages. I'm highly anticipating the series finale soon in Daredevil Volume 7.
